Oh the North Yorkshire Moors railway. I remember it from when i lived in the West riding as a kid. My Grandad used to shunt trains from Wakefield or Leeds before the war, ww2 that is. Thanks for the info. It would be nice to get a photo of Tornado A1 Pacific round this corner with the viaduct behind.

studio4t1--greetings Tone, thanks for the feedback ;>) If the 'Tornado' ever made it to this point, the viaduct would also be a fantastic viewpoint!! Unfortunately, the curvature in the bend of the line at this point is so extreme that a Pacific of this length could possibly de-rail!! Check it out on the map ;>))

AJoVidal...thanks for your nice comment, you are most welcome ;>)

Bánfalvi Suzi Natusk…..me too Natuska..I yearn for the old days of steam locos, uncluttered motor ways and cheap fuel!! I have big problems with my carbon footprint ;>))) yeah!!

2c---it was your wonderful B+W shots that brought me to this point hugh!! I get a great deal of pleasure watching this amazing transformation evolve, as I roughly tweak all the parameters in Photoshop!!

>| Micha |<,~~~~~~I have been fond of this amazing brick structure all my life..it has stood the test of time and despite not carrying a train for more than 50 years, it continues to serve the community as a walkway/cycle path! This is my favourite photo of the bridge...Thank you for your lovely compliment and 'Best of'...

The brick viaduct built around 160 years ago carried the steam train line to a place down the coast called Scarborough! It was disbanded in the 1960s when the idiotic government at the time savagely cut the rail transport network..Fortunately, the railway line to the right of the photo was saved from the axe, and today it carries a thriving steam locomotive and diesel train service to many different locations ;>)

romavolzskij..Nothing runs along there except some joggers _Roma...It is now a public footpath!!

picture fan~~~~First, I must say that your English is perfectly understood and second, I am overwhelmed by your generous appraisal on my work..It is indeed an honour to be rewarded like this Mario..I am most grateful ;>)

Jim: thanks for the links to these 5 great black&whites. An excellent subject (ancient architecture) for the art of B&W. i liked the title M-arching but chose to Like this one because of the my weakness for railroad themes :) ...i also approve of your "artistic treatment" of it. black & white in Canada
